I always wonder that whether a dead body can decompose in space?

OK, I found the answer. You would not decompose in space as long as there is no oxygen for bacteria to live in, and if you did decompose, that would mean there was life in random space, which won't happen without oxygen. In space you would also freeze and be preserved.

I have always wondered this too, I wish I knew!! Maybe you would gradually be pulled into another planets atmosphere by their natural pull, and then you would dissipate as you would enter the atmosphere? I have no idea lol

I don't know but that really is a rather interesting question...this one certainly makes me think. I wonder where we can learn the answer to this question? ...and, what made you think of this question?? lol
